Hey! It's been a while since I worked on this, but the error is coming from here:

mongoose.connect(process.env.MONGO_URL, {
  useNewUrlParser: true,
  useUnifiedTopology: true,
})

Since it says your uri is undefined I assume you don't have a process.env.MONGO_URL. Make sure you have a .env file in the root of your project with your MongoDB connection string in it, something like this:

MONGO_URL=mongodb+srv://username:password@domain.mongodb.net/?retryWrites=true&w=majority&appName=MyApp
